Welcome to The Spark Center Prekindergarten! 🌟📚✨

Building Foundations for Future Academic Success

At the Spark Center, we understand the importance of a strong educational foundation. Our Prekindergarten program is tailored for children between the ages of 4 and 5, focusing on equipping them with the essential language and academic skills necessary for success in Kindergarten, whether in a public or private school setting.

Our Comprehensive Learning Approach:

• Language and Literacy Development: Emphasizing reading, writing, and communication skills to build a strong foundation in literacy. We use research based curriculum Fountas and Pinnell’s continuum of literacy and Heggerty Phonemic Awareness to supplement. Through interactive read-alouds, small groups and guided reading groups, children are provided tools to develop critical thinking and comprehension. We focus on translating this to communication skills.
• Mathematics: Introducing concepts and academic language (sorting, measurement, addition, subtraction) and problem-solving skills to develop early mathematical understanding.
• Social Skills: Focusing on cooperation, sharing, and empathy to build positive relationships and emotional intelligence.
• Music and Movement: Integrating music into our curriculum, we encourage children to engage in songs, finding their “singing voices” and rhythm skills.
• Play-Based Learning: We emphasize play-based learning as a key approach to developing communication skills. Through imaginative and interactive play, children naturally improve their language and social skills.
• Creative Exploration: Artistic activities provide children with opportunities to express themselves while building vocabulary and descriptive language abilities.
• Safe and Nurturing Environment: Our classrooms are safe havens where children can explore, learn, and grow with confidence.
• Individualized Support Led by Degreed and Certified Educators
  • For Children with Autism: Tailored approaches to support communication, social skills, and sensory integration.
  • For Deaf/Hard of Hearing Children: Incorporating visual aids, auditory/oral teaching strategies used with children with hearing aids and/or cochlear implants
  • For English Second Language Learners: Specialized language support to enhance English language acquisition while respecting and integrating their home language and culture.

Daily Activities Include:

• Interactive daily meetings (circle time) for group learning, social skills and language engagement.
• Shared and guided reading groups
• Phonics instruction
• Structured and Free Play to encourage social and language skills.
• Art and Music activities to stimulate creative expression and auditory skills.
• Read Alouds to cultivate a love for reading and listening comprehension.
• Scheduled Movement Breaks to keep children active and focused.
